BEST CHINATOWN HOTPOT & Selling EVERYTHING I OWN in Seattle

This of course is my traditional Before the flight meal so my flight's in about three hours, and I'm gonna get into Washington at about 8 30 p.m So I'm not gonna eat anything once I get over there, so this is it This is my only meal of the day. I'm gonna make it count so I'm at a cast iron 3 This is one of my favorite all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue places in Flushing and they're kind enough to let me sit outside which makes me feel better and the audio is kind of buggy because my my My audio pack is out of batteries. Oh, that's cool a little mini shield They have the bigger shields inside so outdoors you get like a little mini shield also They got this bulldog chicken. You know bought out the spicy chicken ramen thing now. They have that chicken here That's pretty cool, and the whole lunch buffet It's only 18.95 person which I think it's very very very economical especially when this is my only meal of the day I am about to stuff my face till ain't no more stuffing left Stuffing is over. I'm gonna eat a lot Gotta try out their new skirt steak That is good It's thin, it's juicy, tons of fat. When you have like breakfast lunch and dinner combined to one meal You need something with a wow factor like this A little salt is all you need, all you need I've been eating a lot of Korean barbecue lately because when I can I try to eat more protein and less carbs So typically what I do is I eat about 100 grams of protein a day recently just the last couple weeks I've been trying to do it with a low amount of carbs. I mean, I love noodles So it's been pretty hard, but just to try it out. See you see the effects it has on my body I mean yesterday. I just went and ate like a bunch of bowls of ramen, but I feel pretty good a lot of energy Don't need as much sleep as I did before. I think I'm getting more fit too. Just a pile of meat All for me. I think I've had dreams like this except in my dream broccoli never showed up This is something I've never had before so this is the super spicy but up chicken Delicious Chicken is tender and it lights your mouth on fire This brand in the last couple years been making everything from dumplings to fried rice. You have amazing sauce that's out But also incorporating it in Korean barbecue. It's gonna hurt you in a very intense, but very good way That hurts, but it's so good though All right, you'll fool I feel good let's go to Seattle All right, something really sad just happened. I packed Four packs of my soup base my hot pot soup base By the way, if you want to get a hot pot soup base I'll put the link down below add two tomatoes and two spicy ones I was bringing with me to you know, eat in Seattle and I couldn't take it on the plane You know, I don't have a check back today. So I hope somebody eats it. I don't I don't care who Please eat it. It's awesome moment of silence for the fallen hot pot soup base As much as I'm really sad about the hot pot soup base Being confiscated. Hmm. I am kind of relieved because I was gonna bring like four packs of my hot oil In my carry-on as well. I saw my hot oils being confiscated as well Airport security might have been called to the TSA because of a sobbing man desperately trying to shove jars of chili oil into his mouth Thank you so much Have a good night. Thank you That's my first time riding in a uber in over a year since the pandemic started I have not gone into an uber or a taxi. I basically have my head out the open window the whole time Welcome home to me. So my mission over the next week and this is not gonna be easy I'm gonna get rid of a lot of stuff. I can give all my furniture to charity I would do it and then just figure out a way to pack the rest of the stuff Into my car and drive it to Texas, but before all that I'm gonna bed. Oh Good morning. I missed this. Although it was nicer in the beginning when like there wasn't so many people around here now This whole area is packed. So sitting on your balcony doesn't feel nearly as private as it did But there is really no beating this beautiful weather. Yeah. Yeah, Seattle beautiful weather in the spring and summer this trip I'm kind of like feeling a Mixed of a bunch of excitement and a tad of sadness because I always dreamed about living in this part of the country You know exploring the woods the coast going on hikes and I really did not get to do much of that I mean, I've been on hikes. I went on a Mount Rainier. I went to Cascades National Park, which is absolutely amazing But I just wish I did more and I love the simple stuff. Let's just like sitting on my balcony I can't even really do this in New York. Summer is too hot and humid. There's mosquitoes everywhere here It's like it's like mosquitoes avoid this place.

You guys missed the leaf blowers, which is something I won't miss Yeah leaf blowers that are about 7 in the morning here and then shower and go to Chinatown today One of my last times visiting Seattle Chinatown every time I've been here It's never been that many people even before the pandemic get some Mike's noodles. I Love about Mike's noodle house is first of all the amount of meat they give you look at the stings is falling apart Pull on a little bit of their chopstick falls apart tender beef Well, that's good that broth tastes like a cow sauna in a good way So ginger, oh man, I should ask for like something spicy would be even better with some hot oil Love The texture of the noodles and also that really shrimpy nice seafood flavor in the broth as well Which is such an identifying factor for good bowl of wonton noodle soup. Look how Elasticy this is it's like eating a bunch of thin little rubber bands again in a good way This is a place I'm 100% gonna miss when I leave I hope Texas has something like this I love it with the noodles put up a little resistance when I'm trying to eat it I think my moving boxes should be arriving soon. So I'm gonna go home and start packing this house is getting messier and messier So I'm kind of sorted things out. This big box of food is going to the food bank this box I have here Catch hot sauce this I'm gonna auction off. This will go to charity. Hopefully we'll get a good price for that Oh, I discovered something today. So in this building there is a there's a bike room So we put our bikes in there. The room is locked So today I was I was thinking, you know I'm gonna go take a picture of my bike so I can auction off and and have that money go towards charity as well So I go down there and my bikes got somebody stole my bike. It was a nice bike, too It is my fault. I didn't lock it but like nobody locks their bikes down there and they took my helmet It was my helmet is on it. I hope my helmet gives you lice Whoever took my bike. Although I don't really have lice. I wish diarrhea upon you bike thief. It was a nice bike It could have raised a lot of money. I wasted I gotta start putting things on eBay soon so people can start bidding and we'll see what we can give for some of this stuff I'm putting all my gadgets. I have all these like kitchen gadgets a cooker and in the egg cracker I'm gonna put all these like I see on TV things together and I'll just sell all that together And also I have like all my plates and dishes and stuff I know there are people who just move into the area. They might they might need some of that stuff the bed I kind of want to sell it on the last day Because then I could just have them come in and there's nothing else in the apartment and I'm ready to leave this way I'm like not completely paranoid. There's random people in my apartment. Anyway, it's my life here and everything must go Back to work. See you tomorrow. I'm leaving in a few days and this is the progress I still have tons of stuff in the kitchen and I'm just gonna wait for my auctions to end. I did get rid of The TV and the stand and the bed is gone. So today and tomorrow gonna be big progress days Well, it needs to be big progress days because if not, then I'm kind of in trouble Anyway, I've been working on morning. So I figure I reward myself with some Chinatown hotpot There's a place I've always wanted to go They actually shut down for a while because of kovat so that they're now reopen finally gonna check it out Like I said, I actually try to go to this place before and I came in it was like delivery only Who already know I want to sit over there Nice little isolated spot for me. All right So the sauce bars are full of little plastic containers and they have like kind of like the entire sauce mix ready for you He's just take this you can just mix your sauce. It definitely makes the whole process way more sanitary This is pretty incredible a halo of meat three different hot pot broths what I have here I got the spicy I got the tomato and then I got the chicken in the tomato. You see pieces of tomato, of course cucumbers trumpet mushrooms Juju bees and the chicken you see actual pieces of chicken feet and what looks like Mildew or beef stomach and the spicy is just loaded with peppercorn and chilies. I just want to taste all the broths here Well, that's spicy really nice and strong beef flavor a lot of times this broth if you don't do it, right It's just really spicy and nummy, but you can't really taste the beef Not the case here beef flavor is very very pronounced really like it the chicken one That's like super gelatinous II chicken broth That's really good, too Wow, tomato is really good Sweet a little tangy comparable to my own hot pot broths comparable start dipping the meat in extra long chopsticks Make sure you have the reach to start with the spicy one hmm Meat quality is tremendous. That lamb is so tender that flavor penetrated extremely well You see how fatty the beef is here when it comes to hot pot My philosophy is always fattier the better this thing basically melts in your mouth. You see this marbling. Oh My god, I think tomatoes my favorite though as much as I love the spice. I think tomato is my favorite Which is also the case with my own hot pot broth, I really don't feel like it the different sauce is even necessary I'm gonna use it, but you got a lot of flavor from the broth already on its own Different sauce is good, but that meat has already been Flavorized by this. This is definitely one of the better hot pot broths. I've encountered only thing I wish they would change on the sauce bar would be forget the lock up I put the my chin hot oil on there guarantee you guys if you haven't tried my hot oil yet It's much better. I'll come on. I'm ready to have a chili oil battle with her. I'm good to go I think my product is way better I'll try some of this stuff that's in the broth It's like this piece of chicken and this is I think that Human lamb that I got start dropping this stuff in this thing looks pretty spicy already. It's gonna make it even more so On top of the hot pot stuff does have a mom bean congee Hmm. Oh sweet. It's like the way my mom used to make this Pickled cucumber is really good, too. I'm just starting my meal right now, but already really liking this place Chicken so flavorful this chicken broth and Chinese will be called was one you get your money's worth What tons of meat and goodies in here now you can eat on top of you know, everything else Oh, this is tender how I judge a good hot pot ultimately comes down to how much fun am I having eating this stuff? Because the more delicious the food is of course the more fun the experience And this stuff to me better than six fives You gotta remember to wear your hot pot shield though. Now. I'm thinking that this halo of meat might not be enough We might need a second halo. I'm also gonna suggest this cumin lamb that I got is a must-try item from the menu This is the first time I've ever cooked something in a hot pot and it came out tasting like barbecue. I Also got some blood. I got some tripe. I threw it all up in here. I'm trying to really attack the meat But spice is awesome feeling it It's about to polish off the final section of the meat. Halo besides the fact that my mouth's on fire. My nose is running Feel pretty darn good. I think that's the end of all my food. I got like one more tripe plate of tripe back there I'm still starving. So let's go for round two. My second halo has a ride. This thing is so beautiful I'm pretty sure every time someone orders this an angel gets his wings This is gonna be the final round this I got some noodles. I'm gonna make some beef noodle soup Oh, by the way, this halo is different in the last one last one was beef and lamb This one is beef and pork pork belly got a bowl of beef chicken broth noodle soup Apparently with a side of peppercorn the noodles are boiled in the tomato broth Now put some fatty beef in here and I fill the broth with chicken broth. So this is just like a big batch of mixed yum Yeah noodles is how you end every single hot pot meal every single hot pot meal This is a good hot pot break after I'm done Back to packing I'm leaving tomorrow and oh you can hear the echo now. This place is getting empty So I'm pretty sorted. I just have to sell that couch and then I'm taking that stuff and that Should be it the auction for Big Bertha has concluded and we raised over $300 just on Big Bertha alone for feeding America So in total, I think over $1,000 goes to charity from all my stuff So now I do know what my life is worth at least in Seattle about a thousand bucks All right, let's go give these to the winners. This is Daniel Maria. They got Big Bertha. Big Bertha will treat you well So eat again like I'm 99% packed. I just got some stuff to throw away some stuff to Give to a couple friends and that is it ready for one last meal here in Seattle My last meal in Seattle, I figured it would be nice to eat it out of my apartment one last time they gave me Zero utensils. I now have boiling hot pho and noodles and ribs I have no spoon and I have no chopsticks. Oh, oh my oh my god. Oh my oh my god I did not set this up. I kid you not. I left a Chinese soup spoon in my dishwasher By accident and this is the only utensil left I have in my entire house. At least I can shrink the broth For some reason it tastes like oilier than usual and only one pack of Sriracha, I really should have double-checked everything and asked for extra sriracha That's definitely not spicy enough luckily I Got a pack for the road. And if you guys haven't got this yet, you want a pack? We still have some availables go to Mike's hot oil calm. You can get your own jar of hot oil I'm so happy. I have this. Oh Yeah, yes Still haven't figured out how I'm gonna eat the noodles. I figure I could just kind of slurp it. Of course The ribs oh I have not figured out how to eat my noodles The hot oil's got a slow burn Especially when I get caught in your throat my own chili oil is trying to kill me in my throat right now Fullback is one of the first restaurants I ever been to when I first moved to Seattle So I guess it's only fitting that it becomes my last meal. I Moved around my whole life. So there's been so many times where I left towns. I left apartments Left houses, whatever. This is one of the saddest I've ever felt Leaving a place. I really did enjoy my time here what I've enjoyed it more, you know, I could have rode my bike one last time Thank you again bike thieves, you know on top of the endless eternity of diarrhea I wish you that and no toilet paper ever but seriously these past two years and especially like during COVID the beginning stages of it I spent so much time in this apartment even so many great foods met some incredibly friendly people just being able to sit in my balcony like Whenever and just enjoy the fact that mosquitoes don't live here. I'm gonna miss it a lot So to all the food places I've been to thank you so much for your yummy food and your amazing hospitality To everyone I've met in the entire Pacific Northwest region. You all are extremely friendly Incredibly nice and I wish nothing but the best for you So again is with a lot of excitement and a bit of sadness that I move on to the next chapter of my life Which seems to happen a lot anyway to all of you guys in the Pacific Northwest Until we eat again. I'll see you later
